Former New York mayor Rudolph Giuliani indirectly criticized the Colombian presidents plan to give 100,000 houses to the countrys poorest citizens, saying that people do not value objects they obtain free of charge.
Warning that he does not know the full details of Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos plan, Giuliani, speaking at a conference in Cartagena Friday, said that people only value what they earn, local news media reported.

Giuliani said the key to helping poorer families is to offer them work that allows them to earn income for housing, calling handouts disrespectful," according to Portafolio.co.
Reward them if they evolve and earn a place in society through effort, Giuliani said. And take away the benefits if otherwise.
